39. Kris Kross, Da Bomb (1993)

Label: Ruffhouse/Columbia/SME RecordsWorst Song: "Sound Of My Hood"

LAZY LYRICSHARDCORE FAILOUT OF STEP

Switching up your whole style on your second album is just about never a good idea. Yet, that's exactly what Jermaine Dupri tried to do to Kris Kross just a year after they dropped their debut, Totally Krossed Over. The guys turned their clothes around, took on a more hardcore image, and promptly blew up their careers with this dud. The album did sell a million copies, but back in 1993, that really wasn't anything to brag about.
